Blue Jays president and CEO Mark Shapiro apologized Thursday to the Muslim community following Islamophobic comments made by outfielder Anthony Santander following Abdul El-Sayed’s win in the Michigan Senate race earlier this month. The franchise has asked Santander to address his remarks but he has not done so, per TSN. “We met with leaders in Toronto’s Muslim communities today, who shared the harm caused by Anthony Santander’s Islamophobic social media posts,” Shapiro said in a statement posted to the team’s X account.
